Default Meguiars NXT or Turtle Wax ICE, Let's hear your opinions or experiences???

I'm looking to wax my SUV with one of the newer hi-tech waxes, and I have no intention of using Zaino on my SUV and I'm not willing to spend the effort in doing it. So this thread has nothing to do with Zaino whatsoever, so please focus on the off the shelf wax! I am looking at the new hi-tech wax from Meguiars NXT and the Turtle Wax ICE. Does anyone have any experience with these two waxes or is there a synthetic wax that is comparable to these two? I am looking for a long durable wax for everyday use, not looking for show wax, but a good durable wax that as easy to use as these two which is synthetic wax.

NXT was easy to use. Easy on, easy off. Terrific shine when fresh. Poor durability.

I have used the ICE a couple of times. Goes on and off easy. It seems that dust sticks to the car more with it. Leave a good shine IMO!

Since you asked for "other" I have had good luck with Mother's FX Synwax especially on light colored vehicles.
Easy on and easy off. Normal durability for a DD.

I bought it otc last year. good stuff.
